If you're ever in LA, check out Jon Brion at the Largo. He's a film composer (Punch Drunk Love, I Heart Huckabees), record producer, who also happens to be a multi-instrumentalist that puts on a live layered loop show, doing everything from a traditional drum kit, to bass, all styles of guitar, and piano. I've watched him go from Mozart to honky tonk piano and then up into industrial noise, on into a Detroit rock medley, using only the music he recorded on stage. First time I saw the show in this little low lit club facing a small stage, I had the biggest hard on. I went to jerk off in the bathroom and Fiona Apple walked out. Sorry if I'm being a bit raw here, but it was THAT good.

I'm 35, HS class of 96, so Gangsta's Paradise came out early in my senior year.

I remember there was a volunteer exercise in health class where we were asked to bring in a song that we found powerful or meaningful, play it for the class, and then discuss it. Someone brought GP in and, during the discussion portion, the teacher told us that so far at least one person in every class had chosen this song.

Even people like myself who generally did not listen to rap appreciated this song. Only the honkiest of honkies felt otherwise.

There was definitely something about this song in that time.

Fuckin with me 'cause I'm a packer;
With a little bit of cheese and 'bout 3 Ritz crackers!
Searchin my locker, lookin for the product, thinkin' honky-5th-graders bees sellin' narcotics!

what we all wanna know is,....."What in FUCK are Harlem residents saying about this viral sensation, because it appears screamingly honky-like in origin 'n you know we can't be all racist an shit in 20 motherfkkn' thirteen!

Surely people with any form of rhythm or soul everywhere would agree??
"Why" is the real question here, just fucking WHY!!????

61 is too soon.

And she liked the ladies. Take that you honky homophobes!

Well me and Kage are hungry
We're hungry for some fruit
We wander through the garden
It would be a hoot

To eat some low hanging fruit
We're on a freaky pursuit
Don't want no high class model in designer baby bathing suit
We want the low hanging fruit

Me and Kage are horny
Looking for a snack
Looking for a plump one
I want my baby back

We want some low hanging fruit
She wears a bee keeper suit
She got the sweet stanky fruit
We need the low hanging fruit

She got the flip flops on with hot red potatoes
And a butt floss thong with fried green tomatoes
And she loves the song we sing for the ladies c'mon! Oh my God!

[JB scat section}

Low hanging fruit
She wears a pink parachute
She got the fly tattoo and the honky tonkin' daisy dukes
We love the low hanging fruit

Because the high class fruit is not very funky
But the low class fruit is sweet chunky monkey
When you smoke that bood it smell like a skunky c'mon!

C'mon! C'mon! C'mon!

From a cotton farm in Turkey Scratch Arkansas to the very pinnacle of the music world. 71 year old Levon Helm will soon be gone. Thought I'd post this tribute song written by Elton John from his 1971 album "Madman Across the Water".

Story here. http://www.ottawacitizen.com/Entertainment/Music/6474166/story.html

From the above story "Born May 26, 1940, in Turkey Scratch, Arkansas, the son of cotton farmers, he learned to play guitar and drums as a child. By 17 he was appearing in honky tonks in and around nearby Helena and taking in performance by such southern legends as Conway Twitty, Elvis Presley, Bo Diddley, and Ronnie Hawkins.

He joined Hawkins’ rockabilly band The Hawks just before they moved to Canada in the late 1950s.

In the early 1960s, Helm and Hawkins recruited Canadians Robbie Robertson (guitar), Rick Danko (bass) and pianist Richard Manuel and organist Garth Hudson. They left Hawkins and toured as Levon and the Hawks before backing Bob Dylan in the mid-60s. Fans weren’t initially receptive to Dylan’s switch from acoustic folky to electric folk-rocker, and Helm headed back south, working on offshore oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico for a couple of years until bassist Rick Danko asked him to rejoin the group that would become known around the world as, simply, The Band"

I wonder if there is a video in existence with the power to make males feel objectified in the same way that Girls Gone Wild type videos make females feel objectified? I'd like to know what that feels like, but our culture just isn't even handed when it comes to gender and sexuality issues.

It's sort of like when Louis CK says that racial epithets like 'cracker' or 'honky' are not particularly offensive or menacing to most whites, they're just silly words - not to justify black racism towards whites. I applaud issy and hpqp's subversive rebuttals to the Christmas boob video, but I can't imagine too many males feeling oppressed by this. I think most guys who are relatively secure in their sexuality would find this funny. If anything, it seems like a fair trade: naked ladies for naked men.

In reply to this comment by dag:
Well, I have to channel gay Dag to determine this. (What's that you say? shouldn't be difficult?) I think this is too retro and ridiculous to have real sex appeal. Tom Selleck was a winner.>> ^hpqp:

Does it pass the test? >> ^dag:
Hmmm.

Too many logical fallacies. I am calling "TROLL" on this honky.

She loves that Honky.

see that is one of the realities I never accepted in cartoon such as the simpsons, he clearly smashes his head into a plate full of Mashed potatoes and gravy, and yet when he lifts his head the potatoes and gravy are just honky Dorry nothing ever happened to them.... realism people. *()* sakes.

Hey, What up, my Honkey

(...don't forget to check the Racial Slur Database)

As a white boy, I feel left out. We don't have a racial name to call each other by.

There is nothing worse in the world than a red state, inbred (or not), ignorant, machine gun toting, redneck hick of a cop.

You're dead wrong if you think this only happens in red states. SWAT teams do this everywhere, and they turn out just as badly.

Nah, I never said I didn't believe that it didn't happen elsewhere just said it's worse when a brainwashed honky machine gun toting imbecile is the perpetrator.

*promote

If nothing else, for the old honkies.

>> ^peggedbea:
that roided up old jackass totally escalated this beyond the point of return and probably instigated it too, and the first thing i heard out his mouth was him asking the black guy how much he'd charge to shine his shoes.
fuck that cocked up old jackass.
he is a motherfucker.


Or the other dude could have taken it on the chin and kept his mouth shut. I've been called cracker and honky before but I don't sweat it. People like to run their mouths a little too much and more often than not, if a person can't hold their cool, things will escalate.

Sure the old guy's a jackass but so is the young dude with his mouth and his friend with the camera running her mouth.
